President Barack Obama, rebounding off his pivot from giving speeches on race relations in the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict to giving speeches about the economy, surprised the White House press corps yesterday when he abruptly pivoted back to climate change, announcing his intention to give a series of speeches designed to stop the rising tides and cool the raging heat.

In what pundits described as a response to the trending media meme demonizing air conditioning as a major source of carbon pollution, the President, appearing in the White House briefing room dressed only in swim trunks, announced that for the duration of the summer, all thermostats in the White House will be set to 85 degrees.
